Ihe sanitary condition of the city may
b) good, and the street-cleaners may do
their duty, but we have been credibly in
formed that there are . heaps of trash on
Hanover, between Second ard Third
streets, which have lain there undisturbed
except by the hgs, lor nearly or quite
twelve mouths.

False Alarm.
Between the hoars of 12 and 1 o'clock
this morning there was a cry of fire, bHt
it proved to - e a false alarm. One or two
of the fire companies got under way,, but
as there was no fire, and the could not
even find a smoke they returned to the
amulet of their beds.

Confirmation.
Bishop Atkinsen preached at St. Mark's
Church last evening and confirmed
eleven persons. The church was crowd
ed to its utmost capacity, there haying
been pressnt in seats reserved for their
many white worshippers. The Bishop's
discourse occupied about three-quarters
of an hour, and his exordium to the con
firmed about twenty minutes.
The Biggest Train Ye t .
The freight train on the C. O. railway
which arrived in" this city yesterday, star
ted from Charlotte with 44 cars attached
(two better than have been heretofore
announced( but left two of them at Ab
bottsburg and reached here with 42 cars.
This on a North Carolina railroad, with
a native North Carolina engineer, which
his name is Garrason and his front name
is George, than whom no better steps into
a cab or pulls a throttle.
Three Times Arrested.
The only case at the Sheriff" s office or
in Magisterial circles to-day was that of a
colored man arrested upon a warrant
from J. C. Hill, J. P which, the defen
dant alleges, is the third time that he
has been arrested and summoned before
a Magistrate upon the same charge. This
sort of thing, the defendant protests, ia
getting rather too monotonous, the oily
variety about the arrest being that he i
summoned before a different Magistrate
each time of arrest. The prosecutor is a
wo man of dark complexion.
WILMINGTON, N. C, MONDAY, MARCH
Up for Repairs.
The steamer Wave has been taken
temporarily lrom the line between hero
and Fayetteviile in order to have her old
boiler removed and a new one placed in
position. She wili probably be again
ready fr her regular trips in the course
of a week.
A Big Issue.
The last issue of the New York Herald
was a ejuintuple sheet and contained ev
entj' columns of advertisements and fifty
or sixty columns of news and editorial
matter. This is several columns of print
ahead of any newspaper published in our
little burgh When the Review reaches
the climax of the great New York daily
we promise a big champagne supper to
all the printers in town. In fact, we might
as well be generous, it will do harm, and
extend the invitation to all printers and
nwspaper men in the State, for we feel
sure they will all come.
Sudden Death.
Lus Sarah Henlerson, of
Pender
county, died between the hours of 10 and
11 o'clock, a. ra , to day, at the residence
of her brother, Mr. J. M. Henderson, of
heart disease. Miss Henderson had come
to this city to attend upon her brother
during the severe sickness with which
he has been prostrated, when she was at
tacked with the disease which proved sud
denly fatal. We learn that she has been
afflicted with this terrible disease for some
years, and it was probably owing to the
excitement and fears incident to the seri
ous sickness of her brother which caused
such a sudden termination of life.
Fire in Duplin.
We regret to learn that the residence
of Mr. Daniel D. Wells, of Magnolia
township, Duplin county, took fire from
a defective stova pipe on Thursday last
anel was entirely consumed, with all its
contents including the furniture and near
ly every article of clothing belong ine V
the family. Mr. Wells, whe is lT" I
Duplin's best men, and a thriving young
farmer, was absent from home on busi
ness in this city when the conflagration
occurred, and knew nothing of the dis
aster until his home, which bad been
built only a few years, was in ashes. The
property destroyed was insured for $2
000. St. Patrick's Day.
The patriotic sons of the Emerald Isle
residing in this city, honored the natal
day of their "patron Saiat with a due
observance of the occasion. For reasons
already stated there was no display. The
members of the Hibernian Benevolent
Asssociatioa met at their Hall this morn
ing and from theace marched in regalia
to St. Thomas' Church, where the services
commemorative of the day were to be
celebrated. They turned out with full
ranks. Arriving at the Church they
filed into the seats reserved for them, the
balance of the building being crowded
with the families and friends of the mem
bers. There wero services appropriate to
the . occasion, some excellent music and
an address by Rev. Father Gross, which
we have heard spoken of cn every hand
as singularly beautiful, interesting and
attractive.
At the conclusion of the services at ta
Chureh the Association returned in order
to thtirHall and after they had dispeirsed
a large number of them made a pilgrimage
to Oakdale Cemetery where rest their
deceased members. Beginning with that of
Capt. I. B. Grainger, their deceased Presi
dent, they visited all of the graves, leaving
behind them floral .trophies to the memery
of those who so peacefully repose there.
At a business meeting of the Association,
held te-iay, the following officers were
elected for the ensuing term, viz:
President Capt. John Barry.
Vice President Frank H. Darby.
Secretary D. O'Connor.
Assistant Secretary M. O'Brien.
Treasurer L. Brown. . s
There were two nominees fcr the office
of President, Capt. Barry and Mr. Darby,
but the latter gentleman arose in his seat
and declined to contest the election with
Capt. Barry and thereapoa moved that
that gentleman be elected by acclama
tion, which was done. Mr. Darby was
then elected Vice-President.
We are pleased to learn that the affairs
of the Association are in excellent condi
tion and that they never were, in a f nan
c'al point of view, more prosperous than
they now arc ,
Oysters are on their last legs now.
City Court.
Alderman Bowden, Mayor pA temp ,
presiding :
Two subjects of the giant alcohol were
arraigned before the Mayor pro tem,. this
morning, for disorderly conduct on Satur
day night. The first offender on the docket
was released with costs.
In the second case a line of $:) was iaio
posed. This ended the proceedings, and
the Court adjourned.
Convalescent.
We are glad state that Mr. J. W.
Thompson is improving as rap'dly as
could be expected. For a short time yes
terday (Sunday) he was thought to be
worte, but he soon rallied and has con
tinued improving ever since. We earn"
estly hope that the wishes ol his many
friends and relatives may be fully real
iz3d, and that hemay'socn be fully re
stored to health.
Repaint? St. John's.
Some repairs are now being made to
ft
he chancel at St. John's Church. The
eastern window above the altar is to be
cleaned and repainted and other improve
ments are to be made. The repairs, we
understand, are to be the gift ef a liberal
minded gentleman, a vestryman in the
Church. The congregation will worship
this week, while the repairs are in pro
gress, in the Parish School House- next
North of the Church.
Young Africa.
A slight altercation occurred on South
Water street this morning between two
colored youths at Elias Ilalsey's wood
pile. One boy was about to strike an
other boy considerably smaller than him
salf with a can of concentrated lye, when
the other youth who, was ef the same
complexion and antecedents as his adver
sary, whipped out his pocket-knife and
sliced his big opponent's arm for him,
whereupon the combat
wounded boy was taken
ceased. The
to the doctor
shop where his arm was dressed and the
paternal parent of the other little darkey
happening along just then, took the knife
away from his young hopeful and depos
ited it in the bottom of the river and
then marched his boy off home.
Whose Is It?
Saturday evening last Chief of Police
Brock ha1 information that a colored boy
had been seem on Hanover street with
what appeared to be a gold watch which
he was offering for sale. Mr. Brock im
mediately directed officer Allen to go over
to Brooklyn and ascertain the facts. Tbe
atter went to the corner of Second aud
Hanover streets and there leaned that a
colored boy had been seen to sell a watch
to another colored lad, and pursuing his
inquires he found the watch in the peses-
sion of s colored boy by tbe name of
Cowan, who had bought it of William
Henry Howard, ths boy in whose pos
session it was first seen, and for which
Cowan had paid tea cents and a ball of
twine. Howard upon being interrogated
said that he found the watch, whish by
wayis only a galvanized one,on the street.
The watch is now in the hands of Chief
Brock to be del ivered to the owner on
proof of property.
A Wilmington Boy.
From a private letter whick we have
had the pleasure of perusing, we glean
an item in reference to one of our Wil
mington boys which we are glad to note.
The writer states that Mr. Ancrum 13.
Burr, a native of our town, son of Col.
J. G. Burr, has been employed for some
time past in tbe Engineering Department
ng obstructions in the Baritan
and Passaic rivers. A few days ago he
removed an enormous rock in one of the
slips at tbe foot of Whitehall street. He
drilled tha stone and then blew it to
pieces with giant powder a species ef
glycerine and fuller's earth. The experi
ment was entirely satisfactory and was
witnessed by an immense crowd, and
strange to say, though the slip j was sur
rounded by ferry houses and one hun
dred and sixty poun Js- of powder were
fired , which is thirteen times stronger than
ordinary gun powder, not'a single pane
of glass was broken in any of the sur
rounding buildings.
It always gives us great pleasure to
chronicle the success of onr boys who
have been compelled to leave the old
homestead in the hope of bettering them
conditions, and never was a truer saying
uttered than that the old North State was
the best State in tbe Union to move
away from. 1
